Developer’s Comments

Based on the original extension by Rus Hughes and Tim Fries.

Co-developed by Toad King, Starks, and Pike.

Text-to-Image Options Screen - The options screen can be accessed from the "Tools" menu in Firefox. You can fine tune how much Text to Image resizes the image.

Status bar icon - In the bottom right hand corner of your browser there should be red/green hurricane symbol. Clicking on it will enable/disable Text-to-Image the next time you refresh the page. The green icon indicates enabled and the red icon indicates disabled.

Resizing - All image links that are turned into images are automatically scaled down to a predetermined width and height. When you move your mouse over the image, it will enlarge the size until you move your mouse off the image. You can change this value in the Text to Image options screen.

Image limit - By default, the number of images Text-to-Image will convert is limited to 30. You can change this limit in the extension's preferences, accessible in the "Tools" dropdown. Be forewarned that setting the limit to a high number or disabling the limit with '0', your browsing experience can be significantly diminished.
